In this video, explore the stark contrasts between Leica’s Lux app, priced at a modest $7, and a high-end $10,000 camera setup. Obviously I was expecting it to fall short... but the results were even worse that I expected. What are you doing Leica? You can check the app here (but I don't recommend paying for the subscription):

[@ralfmuller2728]

you absolutely have shared my feelings when I have seen this yesterday....

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

It's... so BAD! Which phone have you used?

[@syrcular]

I downloaded it, took a few shots, and thought it was a joke! 😂😂 What was Leica thinking?, I got the same exact results. It’s terrible!

[@chennyye28]

leica is looking at your wallet.

[@jirayutkaewtabtim9]

You should avoid shooting on many details of edges. Results will be better. Because many aperture mode using like a portrait mode on iphone so it has the same issue one edges.

[@ninetymm]

LOL, best joke of the month. 🤣

[@Bojonatanjarpehag]

Hehe what did y'all think from the beginning? Smartphones/filters will never replace a real camera. Bc the mere size. /Leica glass owner

[@Deetroiter]

I downloaded it and yes, it’s fun but it’s simply nothing but some software skins for an iPhone camera. And even worse, Leica doesn’t even let you buy the app. They want to nickel and dime you to death with a monthly subscription. BMW, Mercedes, and now Leica are trying to take an attempt at the lame business model of subscription for features. Many other global companies have found this business model to be a big disaster, wish the Germans would get with it, as well. I’ll be uninstalling the app later today and just use my actual Leica instead

[@adam_kozlowski]

I have downloaded it and 3 minutes later deleted it :D

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

So it's safe to say... you did not LOVE it :P

[@maxedel2180]

Same 😅

[@MurrayMcMillan73]

The app is shite. Dreadful .However, shooting on phones is just shit in general if you use cameras. Magic, as a Somy guy, can you feedback just how shite the Sony app for connecting is too?

[@brianehrmantraut3011]

Tried it today. I had the same results. Horrid.

[@rphotographyofficial]

should try it out with a leica camera body

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

you think the results would be more similar to the ones in the app? :P

[@picharathida]

I have a kind of feeling that LEICA Powered Xiaomi would be the best option, especially the 14 Ultra.

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

But it’s not available on Android 😂🙈

[@jasonlau8944]

I think this app is a april fool joke, they should release earlier haha...even the original camera from iphone looks better than that

[@FrancescoPaggiaro]

Cool the fake bokeh, we want it in lr mobile 😂

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Should Adobe buy Leica? :P Or Leica Adobe?

[@FrancescoPaggiaro]

@@MagicWeddingPhotographer maybe just a collab, can be 😎

[@nickm8134]

As a long time Leica user, this is very confusing, and sad - and it's not even April 1st
It's a bit like BMW making shopping trolleys - ones with wonky wheels! - what on earth were Leica thinking?
Hopefully it will quickly disappear and minimise the damage to the Leica reputation.

[@michaelwilson6584]

Odd decision for Leica. I wonder who made it. Buy Fjorden iPhone system, fairly poor in the first place, and stick on a red dot? No thanks, deleted.

[@piotr.czechowski]

If this app the was $700 a month then it would be better 😅

[@michaelbell75]

First off, learn how to shoot with your phone properly. Second, get out of aperture mode and shoot RAW 48MP shots. Lastly, you really think a $7 app is going to be as good as your $10,000 setup? Whats next? Going to compare a disposable camera to a Hasselblad MF? 🙄
